Default Recruiting Students (Campus Ambassadors)

Hey All,

I'm sorry I missed the marketing meeting earlier today, but I was told
that there was discussion of recruiting students to help out with Fedora
and Fedora marketing efforts. I have been working for the past couple
of weeks to put together something modeled after the ambassadors which I
tentatively call "Campus Ambassadors". The mission of the campus
ambassadors is something similar to what Mozilla does with the Firefox
Campus Rep program--to have someone who can speak to the student body
about Fedora and represent Fedora at relevant campus events.

Also, I am looking to require campus ambassadors to hold one info
session or tech talk type thing per semester to make sure that there is
constant action and interest in Fedora.

There will be a community architecture team meeting in Raleigh next week
at which I would like to present the final plan for this and officially
launch. I have already been in contact with a number of students from
various universities (Berkeley, Oswego, CMU, Auburn, Texas A&M) and so
far there is interest.

Just thought I would kick the idea out to the list and see what people
had to say. My plan is to put up a wiki page for this tomorrow or over
the weekend, so that it can be presented next week.

Thanks,
Jack

Add me, Jack: I'm a student at Cabrillo College in Aptos (Santa Cruz
County), California. I'm an ambassador and I'm also the president
(albeit outgoing president in the Fall) of the Cabrillo College
GNU/Linux Users Group.

Let me know what I can do to help.

I want to do something related to this project here, in Florianpolis
- Brazil. Here is our state's Federal University, so we have a big
public I can also talk about Fedora to other universities students,
too.

I think there are a lot of people chomping at the bit to get something
done. A framework to work inside of would help a lot. But beyond
just being a rep... we need some guidance on how to tell students and
faculty how to take on Fedora relevant work as academic projects.

>From my personal point of view, I already know what Fedora relevant
work I want to encourage students to work on. I don't need a list of
ideas, nor do I need a list of mentors. I'm pretty sure I can find
individual existing contributors who would take on a student if I
knock on the right doors inside our project.

But what I need to know is some advice on how to approach both
students and faculty in a way that they continue to be open to the
subtly corrosive effects of my continued manipulation. What are the
selling points that I need to stress to the students? What are the
selling points I need to stress to the faculty who are going to end up
giving students some sort of academic credit and possibly a grade for
the work as part of their academic career?
